University policy restricts the number of courses to be shared between Civic Studies and another major to five.

Beginning in Fall 2018, these requirements replace the current Peace and Justice Studies (PJS) major. Students entering Tufts in 2018 or earlier have the option to complete their major under the old requirements, the new requirements, or a self-designed combination of the two. PJS majors will receive extra advising support to design their course of study to accord with their interests.
